A member asked:
How is endometrial biopsy done? can this procedure confirm presence of abnormal cells or a surgery/operation is required to check for abnormal cells?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Uterine sample: Usually an endometrial biopsy is completed in the office by inserting a small catheter/tube through your cervix and into the uterus. This takes a sample of tissue from the lining of the uterus. It can evaluate the presence of normal or abnormal cells in the uterus. A surgical procedure (D&C) may be necessary if unable to do an office biopsy.
